Temporary Business Signing

Temporary business signing may be placed during the detoured portion of the project by filling out a WisDOT business signing permit. All temporary business signing needs approval via the permit before placement to ensure it is in a safe location and does not pose a visual distraction or traffic hazard. The temporary business signing permit is free. Costs associated with creating the temporary sign are the responsibility of the business. Please keep the following items in mind regarding business signing:

• Temporary business signing cannot be placed on traffic control devices or state signs. Business signs attached to these devices will be removed.
• It is encouraged that businesses team up to have multiple businesses advertised on one sign structure versus several individual signs. This makes it easier for travelers to identify signs and find their destination.

Temporary Business Sign permits are available as a fillable-form WORD download (below) or you can request one from project engineer Kurt Vogel at (920) 362-1732 or email kurt.vogel@dot.wi.gov.

• Download Temporary Business Signing Permit (with instructions)
  • Please email the completed permit to Kurt, or if you prefer to mail the completed form, please address to: 944 Vanderperren Way, Green Bay, WI 54304

In This Together Business Resource

WisDOT recognizes businesses located in work zones have special needs. While signing and other marketing/advertising during the construction is up to the business, WisDOT has business resources available through its “In This Together” website to assist businesses with planning for construction closures and to minimize the impact of construction.
